Already Sinking Lyrics

I'd start a fire

Just to put it out

And watch the embers

Leap and stumble from your mouth

The feeling smolders

As it's heaved to the ground

Heavier grows the boulder

Shoulders crack beneath the pounds

I wanna tell you

I'm not loving anything

You think it's smooth sailing?

The ship's already sinking

Dance for the rain to come

And overflood the streets

Not a chance for breaking even

And no chance for me

It goes above our heads

But it's not too high to reach

It looms above our beds

And it's got you in it's teeth

I wanna tell you

I'm not loving anything

You think it's smooth sailing?

The ships already sinking

And I'm thinking

That I can't be with you

Ever since you sank

I'd start a fire

Just to let it burn

Stand over embers and

Feel the pain that makes me learn

Caught up in the legions

Of hatred and deceit

I'm screaming for a sense of reason

To get a little relief

I wanna tell you

I'm not loving anything

You think it's smooth sailing?

The ships already sinking

And I'm thinking

That I can't be with you

Ever since you sank
